The offer, running until March 31, entitles homeowners and private tenants to get lofts and cavity walls insulated free no matter how old they are, how much they earn or if they are on any benefits and could see fuel bills cut by pounds 270 a year.

Getting the recommended amount of loft insulation (11 inches) and having cavity walls insulated costs around Au500 for the average home but can save Au160 on heating bills each year, the department said.
